Google’s corporate-wide “Interns Making an Impact” feature today highlights UW CSE Ph.D. student Tim Blakely, working at Google Seattle. Tim is the lead developer on BigBrain, a large-scale computational neuroscience tool built on the cloud. The project began as an exploratory venture between Google and the Allen Institute for Brain Science (AIBS) to investigate whether the cloud could provide a platform for doing massively parallel, large-scale neural simulations.
